In the United States, a pint is 16 US fluid ounces (473 mL). However, the typical conical pint glass holds 16 oz. to its rim. With a half inch of foam, the actual liquid fill is roughly 14 oz.
The fluid ounce is a measure of volume rather than weight. There are 16 fluid oz. to a pint in the U.S. customary system, and 20 fluid oz. to a pint in the Imperial system used elsewhere in the world. An Imperial fluid ounce weighs exactly 1 oz., so conversion between volume and weight is not necessary.
